Chapter 162 Wood Carving
Gu Xiaoya nodded vigorously and said, "I know, Nai, you've said it many times."
Mrs. Gu was still worried and asked, "You remember it so clearly, so what else did I say?"
Gu Xiaoya shook her head and said: "You also said that the stepmother is not the kind of person who treats us badly after having a biological child. We must be filial to her and treat her as our own mother, so that we can be sincere to her."
Mrs. Gu felt relieved about Xiaoya and turned to look at Xiaobao.
Gu Xiaobao was only four years old, and his mind was not as clear as his sister's. He only remembered: "Stepmother...stepmother...stepmother will not take my candy back to her parents' house!"
Mrs. Gu turned to Gu Laosan and said: "The children all know that the stepmother is a good person, but you still think about it. Since you want to do business, what can you do if you don't have money? You spend all the money at home. Leave it to Cui'er so she won't shrink back."
Zheng Cuier had just finished cleaning up the kitchen and walked into the yard when she heard these words.
Mrs. Gu pulled Gu Laosan tightly to take out the money bag from her body and stuffed it into her daughter-in-law's hand.
Mrs. Gu held Zheng Cuier's hand and said, "This is ridiculous. My idiot son will be completely controlled by you from now on."
Mrs. Gu was about to follow Gu Mingda to Beijing. Seeing that life in the third house was getting better, she was relieved in her heart.
Conversations in the house also happened very quickly.
Regarding their unwillingness to sell Fangzi, shopkeeper Luo expressed his understanding and said: "Don't worry, the family has already discussed it. Let me take care of the braised food business. I will never cheat you."
Shopkeeper Luo is a direct descendant of the Luo family, and opening Desheng Building is also one of the tests for him in the family.
Desheng Restaurant's business exploded in just one year, becoming one of the best restaurants in Guang'an County.
Compared with the difficulty of getting a table at Deshenglou, the Chunfenglou located across the street is no longer as good as spring breeze.
Since the incident of feeding sour braised food to diners, Chunfeng Tower has lost a lot of money, and its business has plummeted. With a bad reputation, it is difficult to do business. Now Cheng He is running around the world trying to sell Chunfeng Tower.
After Shopkeeper Luo passed the test in Desheng Building, his family gave him more money and allowed him to open braised food business everywhere with the support of the Luo family tree.
"We are naturally very relieved when Shopkeeper Luo is doing things." Liu Xiaoru said with a smile.
The share ratio has been decided long ago, the deed has been signed, and various details are still being discussed.
Although Niu Niu fell asleep after listening to it, she still tried to hold up her eyelids.
Zhang Yuniang held her in her arms, took out a handkerchief and wiped the corners of her mouth.
"Be good, go to sleep if you want." Zhang Yunniang said softly.
Niu Niu closed her eyes, leaned her neck and fell asleep at the speed of light.
Seeing her like this, the adults present all smiled heartily, and then lowered their voices in a tacit understanding.
Shopkeeper Luo took out two house deeds.
"One place to open a braised food workshop, and one place for you to rest in the capital."
Shopkeeper Luo seemed to have expected what they would say, and said: "Both of these two houses were bought last year. The price of houses in Beijing has not changed much in the past few years. You can live here first. If you like it, I will sell it to you at the original price." ”
"If you don't like it, just pay me the rent according to the current price in the capital, as long as you don't blame me for buying and selling by force."
Shopkeeper Luo had considered every aspect, making it impossible for the Gu family to refuse. He directly gave the house deed and keys to the Gu family. This trust was also touching. After all the details were discussed, Shopkeeper Luo stood up and was about to leave.
Niuniu suddenly shouted in her sleep: "Money! So much money!"
Shopkeeper Luo looked at Niu Niu lying in Zhang Yunniang's arms and said with a smile: "According to Niu Niu's good advice, if we open a braised meat shop in the capital, we will definitely have a prosperous business."
After Niuniu yelled these words in her sleep, she smacked her chin and fell asleep again.
Zhang Yunniang gently put the child back on the bed, then got up and checked Niu Niu's luggage together with Gu Mingda.
"Bring more money, if you don't have enough money, go buy it." Gu Mingda said.
Zhang Yuniang looked at the bulging purse, which could no longer hold any more, and said: "There are one hundred taels of silver and banknotes. They will join us in half a month at most. This much money is enough."
But the old father couldn't help but worry and said, "Are you ready for the reward? The servants in the big house are the most contemptuous of others. What if one of the servants neglects her because the reward is less?" "
Zhang Yunniang looked at him speechlessly and said: "Her godfather is as worried as you are and will not let her be neglected by the servants. Just keep your heart in your stomach."
Gu Mingda was still worried and muttered: "There are always those servants who are short-sighted. Maybe they despise her because she is not their biological child? My dear baby is still so young. Being neglected once will definitely leave a psychological shadow... "
Zhang Yuniang never knew that her husband had the potential to be a Tang monk. His rambling thoughts sounded like hundreds of flies buzzing around his ears.
"Why are you so worried? You can only be relieved if Niuniu is not gone." Zhang Yunniang said angrily.
Gu Mingda immediately slapped his thigh and said, "Okay, I'll write a letter now and have someone take it over tomorrow. Niuniu has something to do at home, so I won't go."
"The servants of the Sun family have been waiting here for several days, and they don't talk about keeping their promises anymore?" Zhang Yunniang reminded.
Gu Mingda sighed and said, "It's a pity that Guabao is a good boy. He knows that he keeps his word at such a young age."
The couple looked at Niu Niu's luggage again and again. They felt that this was useful and that was indispensable. They were afraid that their daughter would be inconvenient if something was missing, so they packed up an extra baggage.
Early the next morning, before dawn, the whole family was already up and busy.
"I really don't understand why you like to eat ginger. Grandma has made all the **** grown in the yard this year into **** cakes. You can take it with you and eat it slowly on the road." Old Mrs. Gu spat. A large package of strong-smelling **** biscuits was placed on the carriage.
Niu Niu put her face against the old lady's face and said crisply: "Grandma is the best. Niu Niu likes to eat the **** cake made by grandma the most!"
Zhang Yunniang stuffed the water bag into the carriage again: "I boiled water in the morning with some brown sugar in it. Drink it when you are thirsty. Do you remember?"
Niuniu nodded vigorously.
Father Gu wrapped a bunch of wood carvings and stuffed them into Niu Niu's hands: "Grandpa...it's carved...good baby...I like it!"
That pile of wood carvings is a complete set. They are carvings of the Gu family. The carvings are so lifelike that you can see the expressions on each person's face.
Dad Gu was very clever, and everyone's wood carvings were stuck on the tray underneath for easy placement.
"Grandpa is so awesome!" Niu Niu's eyes were astonishingly bright, and she added, "I take the whole family out together, and I'm not afraid of anything!"
